Hawach Large Incubator Shakers combine precise temperature control, high-capacity orbital shaking, and industrial-grade reliability in a single floor-standing incubator shaker system. Designed for biological cultivation, microbial fermentation, cell culture, enzyme research, and pharmaceutical development, these large capacity incubator shakers provide stable environmental conditions for high-throughput laboratory workflows.
Available in both horizontal and vertical configurations, Hawach large capacity incubator shakers support flask volumes from 50 mL to 5000 mL and are available with optional refrigeration for refrigerated incubator shaker applications requiring sub-ambient temperatures.
Upgrading from a benchtop unit to a large incubator shaker is a strategic decision for laboratories scaling up their operations. Large shaking incubators offer significant advantages over smaller systems, enabling researchers to bridge the gap between discovery and application.
Horizontal models provide orbital motion on a horizontal plane, delivering superior stability for large vessels and high-speed operation. This configuration is preferred for laboratories that regularly handle heavy fermentation flasks.

Large capacity incubator shakers are designed to support demanding workflows. Up to 5000 mL flask support allows researchers to run pilot-scale studies, while the high load-bearing platform handles heavy vessels with ease.
Temperature control accuracy of ±0.1°C and uniformity of ±0.5°C (horizontal models) ensure that all flasks experience identical thermal conditions. This reproducibility is critical for enzyme kinetics, protein expression, and fermentation optimisation.
For applications requiring temperatures below ambient, refrigerated incubator shaker models integrate a compressor-based cooling system with a range of 4°C to 60°C. Frost-free operation ensures long-term stability even at low temperatures.
All models feature a robust three-eccentric shaft balanced drive with φ26 mm orbital amplitude, 30-300 rpm speed range, and ±1 rpm accuracy. The slow-start function prevents splashing and protects cultures.
SUS304 stainless steel chamber, electropolished trays, and electrostatic spray-coated outer shell ensure durability and easy cleaning. Each unit undergoes factory calibration and performance testing before shipment.

An incubator shaker combines temperature-controlled incubation with orbital shaking in one system, enabling cultivation at precise temperatures (e.g., 37°C or 4°C). A standard orbital shaker provides only agitation at ambient temperature—it cannot heat or cool samples.
Yes. Horizontal models accommodate flasks up to 5000 mL, making them suitable for pilot-scale fermentation, microbial cultivation, and process development.
Choose a refrigerated incubator shaker if your application requires temperatures below ambient, typically between 4°C and 25°C—for mammalian cell culture, temperature-sensitive microorganisms, enzyme reactions, or environmental testing.
Horizontal models operate from 30-300 rpm, vertical models from 40-300 rpm, all with ±1 rpm accuracy and gentle slow-start function.
